You are such a terrific speaker. So comfortable and conversational. It was a treat to listen to you. Everyone had a great time.
Thank you for taking us on the Chocolate Trail yesterday and enriching us with your stories and passion for Chocolate. The program was a huge success. You connected so well with our religious School students too. You shared with us a special Rabbinic teaching, may the words of the Torah be sweet. Together we tasted the Torah of our wonderful culture, traditions, Jewish life, and history.
It was a delight to have you with us — your presentation is excellent and your research is remarkable. Moreover, I appreciate the kind interaction with my members, and how they responded to your warmth. I am sure they will think differently about every bite of chocolate from now on.

Thank you for your teaching last night. It was delightful, informative, and fun, and we’ve already received some excellent feedback.
Our students are still talking about your presentation to them! I don’t think they’ll ever look at a candy bar wrapper and not ask the question, “What’s Jewish about this candy bar?” Thanks for helping them learn and ask important questions!
